While Arc@c oil produc@on could double by 2050 under some projec@ons, the Arc@c holds vast renewable poten@al: wind, geothermal, solar, and biomass are all promising areas. Fishery catches in the region could increase by up to 70% over the next 40 years, with even greater poten@al in aquaculture and the blue economy. The Arc@c is warming twice as fast the rest of the world, a warning for the rest of the world but an opportunity for climate science and other research. 2
